Okay, so this is going to be something a little different. I'm going to let John
kind of explain the premise because I had him on Wan's show like two months
ago. It was way too long and we were like, "Yeah, we need to do a collab."
And then I was traveling and then he had some goofball Apple event. He had to
something or whatever. I wasn't there. Um, now we're finally doing it. We are
going to have the ultimate debate. iOS versus Android. But John, how's it going
to work? All right. So, we're going to do this. We're going to make this fun. Here's
what we're going to do. So, it's about again, it's been two months since I was on Lionus' show. We want to debate iOS
versus Android, but we figure instead of one of us picking a side, we're going to
do it two-faced style and flip a coin for who's going to get what side. And if
you want to watch my part, obviously watch it on on my channel. If you want
to watch Lionus's part, hit the link down below and go watch it on his
channel so you can get a better sense of, you know, what he's got to say and
we can run through everything um together.

Android, and we're flipping for my topic. Are you ready?
Yes. All right. We're flipping for your losing topic, I should say.
Tails, look at that. We mix up. You are
going to be on the losing side of Android and I am going to talk about the
glory that is iOS.
All right. Well, we're going to start right off with the beautifully crafted
workmanship, which is a big load of bollocks right off the hop here because
Android has a customizable experience.
So you're not locked into, well, gee, what if I actually wanted more than just
a 5x4 grid of icons on my home screens
that I can swipe to and from just like this and nothing other than that. With
Android, you can change up your launcher. You can throw an AV8 launcher
on there. I mean, iOS, did you did you see Tim Cook on stage talking? I don't
even remember who it was. It was some some guy from Apple, doesn't really matter. talking about how now when you
wake up in the morning, you can fire up your meditation app contextually from
the lock screen. How is that a feature? What if I don't want to meditate that
morning? What if I want to check my email? What if it's going to wreck my
meditation that I can't see my email before I meditate? Is that innovation on
the iOS side? All right, this is going to be a really
easy slam dunk debate. So, you know, you said it was so cool you could twist your
Android phone to launch it. What if you pick up another Android phone and try and twist it to launch it? Is it going
to do it? Nope. Because you, my friend, have too much fragmentation. Maybe one
phone does it. Maybe another phone doesn't. Let's say you upgrade from your last generation Moto X to a new Nexus 6,
for example, and you're like, "Oh, great. I know how this is going to work." You do not know how that's going
to work. You got to learn something brand new with every version of Android.
You're very unlikely ever going to have the latest that Google has to offer,
which means you are like wide open, leg
spread, waiting for viruses. I mean it just just just come come at me Trojans.
Come just just give it to me all. Yeah, you can customize. How people are going
to go through and actually download OS going to tweak uh going to tweak skins.
The out of the box experience on iOS is so easy and so seamless. And that's the
beauty of what Apple provides. You pick up an Android phone, your app experience
might be incredibly far off. Apple
offers consistency. You know what you're getting. You know what's going to work.
They also offer an ecosystem, a seamless ecosystem that's going to work. You're
going to have continuity to answer your phone calls from your tablet. They just
make it simpler and simpler, my friends, is better.
So, I heard a whole lot of Apple fanboying over there. I didn't hear any
valid points.
You know what? How excited were the Apple fanboys when Apple started putting
accelerometers and gyroscopes in their phone? They were like, "Oh my god, now
it has a compass." Did they complain? Did they complain that, you know, oh,
now I don't understand how to use this compass. This is so confusing. You know
what? They probably did cuz they're Apple fanboys.
Wow, this is just like my last phone. What? Tremendous innovation. That's what
you get on the Apple side. You get the same damn experience every single time.
and you get a last gen experience anyway because they are innovating so much
slower years after the release of the Galaxy
Note. They acknowledge people's desire for larger phones and then they miss the
point entirely. The point of the larger
phone is the more tablet-like large battery experience with which quite
frankly Apple has their head stuck so far up their asses about delivering a
long battery life experience that I don't think they're ever going to get
it. They're just going to keep making it thinner and keep making it so that if
you have GPS somewhere, you're going to run out of battery halfway through the
day. You're going to be carrying around half a dozen stupid battery banks in your pocket. And what good do your fancy
shiny, by the way, more expensive apps do you if your phone is dead? So, what
I'm hearing from you is that being first is better. If that was true, how's your
uh new Windows mobile phone working out that you've been using? We'd all be
using Windows mobile phones first to come out was always better. I would
rather have something that's going to work and work well than be a beta test
of some new technology. That's the How How was Google Wallet when it first came
out? Did everybody use it immediately? No, Apple fine-tuned what they needed to
do and they got that right when Apple Wallet finally came out and Apple Pay
came out and invoking the fanboy name because people prefer one over the
other. You know that's silly. It's commenters do it and you always say
don't pick sides. The side you pick though, I'm going to say it right here
is wrong. What I think you have to agree
about is Apple prides itself on being innovative. And quite frankly, nothing
they showed off at WDC was innovative. In fact, they even made me look stupid.
They even made me look stupid.
I thought that exposeing the rest of your Windows to pop up the other side
was innovative. Turns out that's been in the Windows 10 preview all this time.
So, that's Apple's fault clearly that I didn't know that.
So, what I'm hearing is you not wanting to talk about iOS versus Android. Talk
about another topic because you know that you've lost. If you thought WWDC
was boring, were you at Google I/O that I was almost fell asleep. I had to be
making jokes that I had to pee the whole time on Twitter because I was so boring.
They were talking about, you know, what's exciting? Let's spend 45 minutes
talking about APIs. Nothing sexier than that.
45 minutes talking about APIs. That's basically all Apple did.
Sexy APIs. Apple brought a We're going to talk about Oh, now
Apple brought a show. Drake was there. The weekend was there. They had a sense
of humor about themselves. cares if Drake is there. Okay, hold on a second.
Let's talk API for a second. We're in Canada. Everybody loves Drake
in Canada, right? Innovation is that you can make standalone apps for the eyewatch whose
screen doesn't even turn on unless you do a gesture. That's That's innovation.
Google's Android Wear has had apps running directly off of the device since
ages ago. And and you should probably say, "Yeah, they've had apps running
directly off the watch from ages ago, but only running off the watch for half the day because then the battery is
going to die." You know what? This breaks it down for
me. Does your Android phone that you bought, did it come with an anti virus
software installed on it? It doesn't need to. I have never had a
virus. The fact that most Android phones come pre-installed with antivirus should tell
you absolutely everything. At least I know when I put in my bank information
into my phone that it's going to stay on my phone and not end up in somebody
else's database somewhere else. Yeah, that's what you think, smart guy.
I'm sure the NSA has got it figured out and you're American, so you're
compromised regardless. Ben, come on. Yeah, you're going to play that
card. Oh, it's it's the NSA big scary. We're talking about OS is here. iOS is
more secure than Android. Every day of the week, every day of the year, you're
more secure operating system. Okay, so you're gonna pull up that stupid Windows
phone. Lowblow. Fine. Then why don't you go use Blackberry, smart guy?
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Don't get hasty. Hold on. Hold on a second. All
said don't get hasty. Now, now that's not necessary.
So, I think you've clearly run out of ways to defend Apple's shiny phones that
only have one button. I could do this all day. Few more
buttons cuz the OS is elegant. You need to throw a ton of buttons on there to do
what you need to do. The OS is elegant. You know what's
elegant? Doubletapping the home button to bring down the the onehanded mode and
move all your icons down because they can't build a UI that's actually
optimized for the size of their phone. And on that note, I want to leave it up
to you guys, the audience, to tell us who you thought won. Leave a like on my
video, which is linked in John's video description, and leave a like on John's

wireless touch sensitive headphones over there, you're going to tell people to
vote for you. Well, I'm going to tell people don't vote for a phony. Thanks
for watching. See you guys next time. Bye, guys.
